hyperpigmented itchy skin



    
Asked by aprilgarza (Female; 36; 26828 ) on Fri 26, Jun 2009 02:52pm

I have had hyperpigmented itchy skin for 9 years now with now answers to what i have or how i can treat it. It started when i became pregnant with my last child at 27. The doctor thought it was my hormones. I was itchy and started having hyperpigmented skin on my neck and then it started spreading. I now have it on my neck, forehead, around my mouth and sides of my face. It has also spread to my chest and the top of my back. I itch constantly and have scars on my hands from what i think look like hives. I have gone to numbers doctors, dermatologist, and alergy clinics. The alergy clinic says i now have just seasonal alergies but all the blood tests and biopsy show nothing at all. I am told from many doctors that they have never seen anything like it and send me on my way. I have been told just to keep coming back to take blood test every 6 months to see if anything changes. All i use are allergy med. to help stop the itching and cream too.

Dear aprilgarza, Try some anti fungals and also go to a good facility to consult a skin specialist who has dealt with these problems. Some of the skin diseases are associated with some other auto immune/ endocrine diseases and the clinician has to take everything into consideration before coming to diagnosis. It might be some drug, some allergy, some lesion etc.
